    Bare Butts!

    I only turn the lights on inside the coop when I go inside in the evening to clean the pool board and rake. They only run inside to see if I am giving them a treat but then go back outside to the run. They have roost bars and they normally tend to want to stay close to each other even though the...

    They only really go inside when it starts to get dark and they immediately go on their roost bars.

    What’s going on with my chickens??

    They love the Kalmbach brand. I spoke to Kalmbach and they recommended that food but they do have some with higher protein. Do you think the protein is to low? Do most people give higher protein to chickens?
